As long as everyone going in knows that (hey, I'd love to see that on the wall at the dealer - "Of course it's broken, it's a Jeep!")It's a JEEP. People act like it's news that stuff like this is happening. My 2012 JK spent 120 days of the first year in the shop. It's normal, not unexpected. It will get fixed, it won't cost the new owner a penny. No harm, no foul. FCA/Jeep is know for it's horrible build quality. Getting spun up won't change it. it's been like this for years. We don't buy Jeeps because they are reliable.
Pin it in sixth gear in low range I guess lolAre the lockers still only usable in 4low? no rocks to crawl in my area, and 4low is Not where you want to be in black gumbo mud. Gotta have tire rpm to keep lugs cleaned and grabbing!
So your the one. They had to pull it out of the service department for us to test drive it. We did not buy it.Yesterday I stopped at Rydell Jeep (San Fernando CA) to test drive a Rubicon. Mainly because I got worried from reading how cramped the cabin is for people over 6’2”.
Anyway, I pulled over to test the lockers. Put the Rubi in 4L and pressed the locker switch. Nada. Then the ‘SERVICE LOCKERS SOON’ notice flashed in the center screen while the amber 4WD light remained flashing even in 2H.
There was 20 miles on the Jeep.
The salesman assured me that NOTHING was really wrong and the Rubi just needed a re-flash.
PS I included a picture to show the diff in height between the Sport and Rubi.
EDIT TO ORIGINAL POST: I was testing to see how long it took to engage. My Rubicon was usually instant while my PowerWagon took it's own sweet time. I’m not a rookie. That said, you shouldn’t feel the need to defend a faulty JL and I have no idea how the 19 miles before me were driven.
Would have been hilarious if you flipped the lockers immediately and pointed it out, lol!So your the one. They had to pull it out of the service department for us to test drive it. We did not buy it.
